LT Version?

PDFATTACH in current shipping version. 2010 and 2011 versions as well.

Hello Charles,

Thank you so much for replying to my cry for help.

Unfortunately when I enter "PDFATTACH" it gives me a "unknown command"

When i use "insert" from my menu, I can import my OLE object, but i can't get the size.

Hope this makes any sense.

I operate AutoCad LT 2009

Thank you once again for your help.

LT2009 does not have the ability to attach PDFs. Your best bet is to open it up in Acrobat and save it as a Jpeg.

Once you've done that you can attach the resultant jpeg using IMAGEATTACH

Use the SNAPSHOT tool in your PDF reader to capture the image, then CTRL+V in LT2009 to get that image (not the PDF) in your file. Scale as needed.

Note that like all image capture tools, the bigger the image is on screen the better the capture resolution will be.
